Saturday racing and a collection option that must be purchased
The updated expo schedule gives Thursday collection from 15:00 to 19:00 and Friday from 11:00 to 19:00. A lower FAQ section still repeats older April 9–10 dates. Use the explicit 2027 schedule, then recheck the final venue and participant email before making a collection plan.
The race-morning pickup option is listed at $20 plus processing fees and is limited by availability. Confirm it on your registration if you need it; ordinary entry does not establish that you can collect on Saturday. Someone collecting on your behalf needs the organizer’s authorization form, so arrange that before the expo rather than relying on a verbal message.
The website also carries an obsolete 2026 deadline inside its deferral explanation. Do not interpret that as a valid deadline for the 2027 race or invent a replacement date. If the transfer or deferral terms matter to your decision, obtain the current rules before paying and keep the confirmation with your entry details.
Corrals are assigned from predicted finish times and released in waves. Choose an estimate supported by recent training, then allow time to reach the assigned corral through race-day closures. Review the final full-marathon route and aid plan separately from the shorter events. A convenient start group or ambitious target does not remove the need for a sustainable opening effort and a practised nutrition plan.
